tom_gr7 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just the standard tesco unleaded :( this can't be normal milage try using super unleaded. When i first got my scooby the avg mpg was about 27/28, i presumed the previous owner used normal fuel. I've always put vpower in it and get about 33mpg.

JusNoGood Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 try using super unleaded. When i first got my scooby the avg mpg was about 27/28, i presumed the previous owner used normal fuel. I've always put vpower in it and get about 33mpg. Same here. I am logging all my petrol and mileage at the moment. I noticed a drop in MPG when I had to get low quality super at BP then Esso! So I'd have thought standard unleaded would be even worse. The Mpg jumped up again on my second tank of VPower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusNoGood Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well why don't you try a few tanks of VPower and if you don't notice a difference take it to a specialist :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusNoGood Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Not sure where you are mate but I can't recommend Dan at Surrey Subaru Specialists enough. I'm sure peeps can recommend a closer specialist if that's no good ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Earlier cars have smaller tanks, I've never put more than 50 litres in, did you wait for the light to come on before re filling ? The gauges are well out too, I can do another 30 miles when it says empty and thats before the low light shows, May as well reset the ecu when you've filled it up with vpower too Sent from my SM-T210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 In my WRX I get around 280 out of a tank and that's my country lane driving to and from work. Not thrashing but there are a lot of corners to slow down for then straights to get the speed up on. I got 310 with one tank, had a long run at some point. Boost gauge and pod arrived today.... excited to get it fitted :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Tbh I think I could do better because I think my MAF is slowly dying on me which "hopefully" is making it use more fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
